The beggar man and the mighty King are only different in name

For they are treated just the same by fate

Today a smile and tomorrow tears

When never show what's in store

So learn your lesson before too late

Cause life is sweet tender and complete

When you find the bluebird of happiness

You will find perfect peace of mind

When you find the bluebird of happiness

And when he sings to you though you're deep in blue

You will see a ray of light come true

And you must sing his song as you go along

When you find the bluebird of happiness

The poet with his pen the peasant with his plow

It makes no differece who you are

It's all the same somehow

The king upon his throne the jester at his feet

The sharp girl the actress the woman on the street

It's a life of smiles and a life of tears

It's a life of hopes and a life of fears

A blinding torrent of rain and a brilliant burst of sun

A biting tearing pain and bubbling sparkling fun

And no matter what you have don't envy those you meet

It's all the same it's in the game the bitter and the sweet

And if things don't look so cheerful just show a little fight

For every bit of darkness there's just a little bit of light

For every bit of hatred there's a little bit of love

And for every cloudy morning there's a midnight moon above

And you must sing this song as you go along

Somewhere there's the blue bird of happiness
